Is "adulthood" as we perceive it a social construct, only semi-related to biological puberty?

Yes. Yes it is.

You know what else is a social construct?
Family beyond parents and small children (and even then the forms are mostly socialy-determined). Marriage. Concept of caring for your elders.
Hell, concept of caring for your pubescent children.
Why is it exactly that parents/caretakers should provide for a 12-13-years old?
Those can work. Hell, they did work and provided for themselves not that long ago. Why should we make a sole exception for sexual relationship, huh? You can have children - so go have your own family, you are too old to be a part of mine.
And, while we're at it, how about tossing out all that birth control shit?
Nothing natural about it, after all. You can have children - have them. Lots and lots of them.
That's your biological adulthood right there.


Only we don't operate on biology only. No social species does, it's just that our social constructs are much more complicated than most.
You are saying "socially and culturally' as if it is something superficial. It isn't. These are things that form us as species much more then our biology does. Especially since it's fucking hard to separate it from them. Hell, even our sexuality is geared towards establishing and mantaining social relations as much as t is geared towards reproduction.

There is no 'naturally meant to be'. If we weren't supposed to move past the wild, we wouldn't have the ability to. Nature is not some scripture of predisposed meanings and destiny.
